Im looking to branch out, and I realize a number of you have huge supplies in your "cellars" to spare.

So here is my contest.... I name all my pipes, and I just bought this new Altinok which is being carved as we speak.....

Some of my current pipe names include:

"The Mud Bowl" : this is a bent stem sandblasted apple, and is the first pipe i successfully filled in the bottom of with pipe mud to make up for an improperly drilled air hole.

"Mr. Pitts" : this is an uncolored, unpolished straight billiard with a number of visible plugs in it.

"The Jack" : This is a Dr. G Omega. Its named based on the fact that it has both the spade on the stem, and the fact that like a face card, it is more ornate on the stem than necessary. I also use the name "Jack Spade" occasionally when I don't want to give my real name...

"The Dungeon Master": this is a little CAO meer claw holding a bowl. This pipe just reminds me of some swords and sorcery story, or Lord of the Rings type book.

So here is the contest. In an interest to let this forum permanently etch itself in my pipe collection, and to better round out my knowledge of tobaccos out there, I am going to let one of you name my new pipe. Please suggest both a name, and place your bid in the form of different tobaccos you would be willing to send me to sample in exchange for having your name permanently associated with such a fine Altinok pipe in my collection. I will refer to this pipe by your name in all my posts here that mention it, and you have my solemn word that its how I will refer to it privately and publicly offline as well.

The winner will get to both directly influence the name of my pipe, as well as influence my future choices of tobaccos.

To enter, please reply with:

1) Your suggested name.

2) A bid or offering of tobaccos.

I will chose the COMBINATION I like best. A crappy name with a ton of free tobacco will not necessarily be the winner....
